He was first elected to the Norwegian Storting in 1997 as an independent candidate, and in 1999 broke out and founded the Coastal Party. He headed the party from its founding until March 2005, when disparity among the members forced him to give up his leadership. Bastesen kept his seat in the Storting until the 2005 election six months later."
